En algunos ámbitos de diseño y desarrollo 3D en Latinoamérica, el formato SGI (especialmente IFF/ILBM) ha mantenido una presencia residual por su compatibilidad con software legado. Aunque ARW es el estándar de Sony, la conversión a SGI puede ser necesaria para sistemas muy específicos o flujos de trabajo antiguos que aún se utilizan en ciertas regiones.
